• Thinkpad T61p Windows 7 Experience Index

  My Lenovo Thinkpad T61p Windows 7 Experience Index jumped way up to a 5.0 after installing a solid state disk . I don't think anyone is going to beat that with a machine from February 2008!

• Memorex Optical Media is Absolute Garbage!

  I backed up a number of my DVDs to blank discs about a year ago and when I tried to play one this weekend it failed to be recognized by my computer.

• The Camcorder AV Cable, Who Knew?!

  It's not often that an older piece of technology blows my mind, but it happened this week and I'm still reeling with disbelief. I had no idea this cable existed until a couple of days ago!
